Make a commitment to ski Plattekill Mountain this season. If you never skied Plattekill on a weekend after a midweek snowfall your missing out. Truly an amazing place for skiing and riding with no crowds. With all the expansion improvements at Hunter and Belleayre I would suggest you give...

Anyone out skiing in the Catskills early Saturday April 7, 2018 enjoying the 12 to 15 inches of dry fluffy powder? Weird weather this late in the season. It was a pleasant surprise at top of Belleayre Sauturday. Since the snow came after Belleayre groomed their trails, all trail off the top...

Its Friday April 6, 2018 and Its Snowing in the Catskills. To quote Plattekill "It Ain't over til it's Over". It ain't over yet. :smash:;-)8-):-D Get out and ski and ride this weekend. Plattekill Web Cams. That middle cam has a very large UFO over Plattekill. The aliens are skiing again...

Is it me or are the lift lines at Belleayre extremely short ever since the Belleayre Gondola started turning adding an Uphill capacity of 2,000 people per hour? Sure there are lines for the Gondola and Superchief but not that long of a wait. The lines for Lift 7 and Tomahawk lifts are almost...

Belleayre Gondola open today. Families that I talked to said they enjoyed the warm ride up and the long Blue intermediate trail “deer run” to the bottom across the new bridge.

Zipcar's are coming to Metro North Stations including Poughkeepsie Station. That would make Metro North an official Ski Train. We may see numerous Metro-North passengers with skis and snowboards soon. From Poughkeepsie many of the Catskill ski area resorts are a little over 1 hour drive...

Well you could go out west and spend over $10,000 for fresh powder tracks or you can go to Plattekill Mountain tomorrow morning and be ready to ski by 8:30am. Plattekill got over 12 inches of snow today. You see Plattekill Mountain lifts were closed Monday to Thursday. I am sure there...

Well who will get the new deep powder? Will the deep pow land in Weschester NY area or further north in the Catskills ski areas? Watch the snow fall map at Hudson Valley weather http://www.hudsonvalleyweather.com/

Seems like Belleayre has a different choice in the order of opening trails this year. I could be wrong. I think the choices are good ones. Belleayre's east side intermediate and single black are mostly open. This year Belleayre Run is a wide trail under the Lift 6 Superchief HSQ that takes...

May want to head up to Catskills on Friday and sleep close to Belleayre, Hunter, or Plattekill for some early Saturday morning powder. Windham may be on the fringe and get a few inches less the other 3 resorts. Its probably all good though. Plattekill opening day is this Saturday so...

I have been skiing for a few decades. Okay a lot of decades. I thought I would write down a few hints for skiing early season with extremely limited number of trails open: Expect extremely crowded trails. Forget the long lift lines. The real problem is skiing real close bumper to bumper...

The Luge Challenge is run by athletes competing to be on the next Olympic Luge Team. Its free. Parents must sign form for under 18. Its pretty cool. The snow cats actually make a small very safe luge run. They supply the luge sleds. You do as many runs as you want. The luge athletes give...

No deep powder north of I84. :cry::cry: Maybe 2 inches. Or if you believe the NAM model we get deep powder north of I84 and possibly all the way up into VT and NH. Here is a long video from Hudson Valley Weather describing the complexity of this storm and predicting snow fall depths for...

This Lily Camera throw and go drone would be very cool to video your next run down the mountain. Price is reasonable. Its probably all legal until they change the rules ;-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMfTHHLbj5g Unfortunately or Fortunately the Lily Drone Camera is not available for...
